DETAILS: (text from the email)
If any of you have come to the spin jams on Tuesdays at Lunar Larry's in the past few months, you may have gotten an impromptu poi lesson from Drex.
Now he's doing a full workshop through Dance Afire to teach beginners the basics of poi at Contradiction Dance in Takoma Park.

If you've seen people spin poi and would like to learn, or have picked up a few basic tricks and would like to expand your knowledge, come out to Contradiction Dance at 7014 Westmoreland Ave this Thursday at 8 PM.

This is a great space with hardwood floors and full-length mirrors -- practicing in front of mirrors is essential for picking up clean technique and there are few places in the country where poi classes can be had in such an environment. The class is $10 if you reserve a spot in advance either through the studio (contradictiondance@mac.com) or Dance Afire (valloup@gmail.com) and $15 for drop-in.

Drex will be teaching techniques that'll help you get basic tricks down and give you tools to start moving into more intermediate poi spinning. Keep watching this list for fire safety workshops and a 6-week intermediate poi class starting in November.

If you missed us at Lets Dance Takoma Park come on by the Piratz Tavern for their Vodoo Luau and we'll show yoou how its done, but their has been a chage....

We are sad to inform you all that the fearless toy soldiers of Dance Afire were killed last night in a freak bullet related accident. Dance Afire's leader, the Great Voodoo General, assures us this tragedy totally unavoidable, and completely unrelated to recent rumors of a power struggle within DC's latest fire phenomenon. "The silver lining," he tells us, "is that I doubt this will affect our act."

Come see the reanimated corpses of Dance Afire do what they do best: Burn!
Thursdays September 25th and October 30th @ Piratz Tavern in Silver Spring.
Shows start at 9PM.

UPDATE! Come in costume and the bar will give you free booze!
